The materials that comprise the Scientology religion are readily available at Churches of Scientology and public libraries throughout the world. Churches and missions are always open to the public and anyone can come in for a tour and personally see what the Church is all about.

Scientologists come from all walks of life, and include almost every imaginable profession: teachers, businesspersons, physicians, homemakers, attorneys, engineers, nurses, construction workers, marketing and administrative professionals, secretaries, athletes, civil servants and artists of every description.
